However according to official forecasts water demand in Singapore is expected to double from 380 to 760 million gallons per day between 2010 and 2060 The increase is expected to come primarily from non-domestic water use which accounted for 55% of water demand in 2010 and is expected to account for 70% of demand in 2060 By that time water demand is expected to be met by reclaimed water at the tune of 50% and by desalination accounting for 30% compared to only 20% supplied by internal catchments.
